Product design · Enterprise
Clarity for products where decisions matter.
Product designer at Everlaw. Previously Adobe. HCI at UW & CMU. I ship workflows legal and compliance teams trust—tight enough for counsel, legible enough for operators.
Bay Area · Open to IC & senior-level roles
Where I've practiced
Depth in regulated B2B—where the UI is the policy, and the policy is the product.

About
Software should still make sense when someone’s job is on the line.
I'm Don—product designer in the Bay Area. Lately at Everlaw, I've shipped work where a vague label or a missing edge case isn't just annoying; it's a liability. Before that, Adobe sharpened my eye for scale and craft; Carnegie Mellon & University of Washington honed my skills in human-computer interaction.
I'm most engaged where empathy meets rigor: workflows that have to feel calm under pressure, legible to counsel, and honest about what the system can't promise. I prototype when it shortens debate, write when it clarifies tradeoffs, and sweat the unglamorous states—permissions, errors, recovery—that separate trustworthy products from polished decks.
Off the clock I like building things because I enjoy making my ideas come to life and seeing them help others.
How I’m useful on a team
Problems I gravitate toward
Complex multi-step workflows, regulated domains, and tools that people interact with on a daily basis.
01How I collaborate
I work in tight loops with PM and engineering from day one—using Figma to shape decisions, not hand them off.
02How I build
I pick the right tool for the job—AI, Figma, or a quick write-up—whatever helps us get to clarity fastest.

Currently Open to senior product design, UX, and design–engineering roles where the interface is the strategy—not a skin on someone else's roadmap.
